    I agree... Seems high, but was a silly-busy day! ;)
    Gardening, Body Pump and a 1.5 hour walk with my pup. My fit bit also "gave" me a few more calories for 1700 steps today.
    I just dont want to consume too few calories. My understanding was anything less than 1200 calories and your body hangs on to fat and won't let go in order to protect your body from starvation.
    I only have 10lbs to lose and I'm sure that's why I've been given a low number.

    In terms of exercise calories, are you adding exercises to MFP in addition to what your fitbit is giving you? That could be double-counting and giving you the inflated number.

    Exercise logged in MFP overwrites your Fitbit burn during that time—so there's never any double dipping of calories.
